At this time, we are only inviting registered Stitch members to our events, but we will be extending the speed-dating fun to others in the near future.

When time is up, the coordinator will ring a bell, blow a whistle, or clink a glass, at which point the participants switch seats to meet the next person. Again, even if there is a strong attraction, do not ask if the other person is going to mark your name as someone they want to get to know better.

Cheesy, we know, but by far the most important. Even if there is a strong attraction, no one is to give out contact information during the session.

You can attend as many of these events as are available, and as you choose to. If you would like to be notified about when and where future events will be taking place, make sure to sign up to receive the Stitch newsletter.

Keep your spirits up!
